The thing about power is that it generates heat, and to get rid of heat, you need surface area, and this amp doesn't have it.
The small difference between continuous and peak power tells me that this amp lacks the ability to maintain gain at varying impedance loads. That means that, while it may be flat hooked up to a resistor, it will not be flat when hooked up to an actual speaker. Pass, particularly at the price.
I am using one of these Pramgamatic amps as stand-alone amplifier and my Dynaudio's are in love with this amp. Tremendous detail and very high resolution. Music comes alive with this amp and is in this terms much better than my B&O ASC200 based class d amplifier. This amp has to be listened first, before making any judgement or what-ever. Wim
“While it's not exactly punching it out with the heavyweights in multi-room audio, the Mint Studio does certainly hold its own with many similarly-priced iPod docks out there.”
